Asked By:virtuouswoman in Lagos, Nigeria

I had my lipo and bbl done in sept 2018 and a week after, I had an infection. I went back to see my surgeon,he told me its an abscess,he performed I and D. I have been draining for the past 5weeks now. My left butt is totally out as all the fat has drained out, my right butt is also in the process of flattening out. Is this fat necrosis or just an abscess and will it stop? Is it dangerous?D 1st spot healed up and opened up in 2 places after a week.I have sudden shocks and sharp pain in my butt.
